Reincarnated Soul Groups

The theory and beliefs of reincarnation teach that people tend to be reborn
with the same souls, again and again. It has become almost a cliche - a common
pickup line, if you will - the notion of "Haven't we met before - perhaps in
another life?" But it isn't just a line. Often, we are attracted to souls that
we recognize, even though we rarely remember from where.

The theory and beliefs of reincarnation teach that people tend to be reborn
with the same souls, again and again. It has become almost a cliche - a common
pickup line, if you will - the notion of "Haven't we met before - perhaps in
another life?" But it isn't just a line. Often, we are attracted to souls that
we recognize, even though we rarely remember from where . "Love at first sight"
has been described as reincarnated mates finding each other once more. Siblings,
parents and children are usually groups that we have interacted and shared our
lives with in past existences. Reincarnation tosses the theory of random
selection and chance reproduction out of the window. Instead, it teaches that
children are born to specific parents for a reason - karma and familiarity draw
them together yet again.

Soul Mate Connections

Through the lens of
reincarnation, soul mates are seen as very bonded souls who choose to unite as a
couple again and again. They have shared many lives and experiences and both
wish to continue the relationship as different people. The deep understanding
that exists between these two souls is a bonus that helps both partners grow and
develop. They help each other reach their full potential more easily than first
time partners. Soul mates can also be parents or children, friends, relatives, coworkers. The closeness, the soul bond isn't restricted to romantic
relationships. There is also no hard and fast rules about gender - couples can
take turns being either male or female. However, it seems common for couples to
express memories of being the same sex as they are in the present life. It could
be though, that they don't recognize their mate in any memories where the
genders are reversed. It might be hard to picture your husband as a woman and
vice versa.

Family Ties Span Lifetimes

Very often we have
known our family members before. Sometimes these past lives were loving and
enriching while others may have been challenging and even dangerous. When people
choose to be reborn into the a family configuration together, they have a
mission to discover and enact. There are specific lessons and experiences to
explore together. Children choose who to be born to before conception. Sensitive
potential parents can learn to sense the child soul as it lingers around them
before pregnancy occurs. In the family who can recognize what their specific
goals are this lifetime, the dynamics can quicken and each member can grow on an
inner as well as an outer level. Children often remember their past lives,
especially the most recent one quite effortlessly. If your child speaks about
"another mother" - listen. They could give you clues about your family mission
in this lifetime. It's always helpful to notice the dynamics that occur among
family members, the little memories that may be stirred up as you engage in
family activities and the dreams you have about your family. From conception to the time college graduation announcements are sent out, the journey is one that keeps on evolving. All can give clues
to the current themes you each are working on as a unit.

Keep Thy Enemy Close

Not all reincarnated
soul groups are beneficial or even close. Often we meet the people we regard as
our enemies again and again. Perhaps this is one good reason to avoid
cultivating them! Failed relationships, tensions in the neighborhood or at work
- any number of relationships can go sour. If the people involved do not resolve
this tension and ambivalence it can carry over like a chronic disease. Best to
process all negative feelings held about others in your life, talk about them
and resolve them so they don't carry over in your energy bodies. Forgiveness and
compassion are important for many good reasons. Resolution keeps karma within a
manageable and content range. Those who continually add more negative karma to
their soul's field are just asking for lots of interpersonal conflicts and
problems, life after life. Best to love thy enemy, thy neighbor, whoever you
have a problem with,..as yourself. There are lessons to be learned from the soul
groups we choose to be a part of. Good or bad, loving or hateful, they all exist
for a purpose. Learn to connect and "read" your soul groups - the messages and
discoveries hiding there can be both profound and enlightening. They can help
you discover your current life's purpose and path.
